Numbers are showing white males ran highest for Obama in OH than any other state.

So, in OH it was union – private and public – plus college white males.

He lost almost every suburb though, even the ones that went for him in ’08.

He lost counties he won in ’08. I mean, they guy lost Stark, which is Canton/Massillon. And still won.

No, the problem with the the voting block demographic type of politics is that all of these groups feel that they are entitled. Where in our constitution does it entitle anyone to anything but the opportunity to succeed. I worked with teenage at-risk students. Do you know what they were all going to be when they grew up? Basketball players. And I had thirteen year old girls with babies. A society can not prosper like this.

Yeah, it’s funny how that works. Our stupid people and those who just misspeak get world wide attention on top of being blamed for every shooting and act of violence perpetrated in the United States. Republicans don’t hate gays, they just don’t think we need another minority victim demographic. Do you think we don’t have gays in our families? It’s just stupid. Mine are all over 25 but if they would pick Jay-Z over Ward Clever they are really to stupid to vote. But they do.

The other thing about the “youth” is that they always want to help the underdog, the lost puppy and those that have less than they. Until it is done by law and threatens their own ability to survive. In other words, they usually grow up.

Most of the youth I know — and with two kids in college I know quite a few — are your basic affluent progressive types, so it’s a skewed sample but I would suggest this:

Most people under 25 aren’t wildly political. But when one party runs Ward Cleaver and the other side Jay-Z; when one side hates the kids’ gay friends and calls law students “sluts,” and the other backs gay marriage and fights for women their friends’ age; when one side talks about tax cuts for millionaires as the cornerstone of their economic policy and wants to crawl in bed with the military-industrial complex and the other increased the availability of student loans and got us out of Iraq — it’s kind of a no-brainer, on symbols and on substance.

The other thing about the “youth” is that they always want to help the underdog, the lost puppy and those that have less than they. Until it is done by law and threatens their own ability to survive. In other words, they usually grow up.

I have three young adult children. I know that they do no agree with the social issues of the Republicans but they voted for the economy. You know, the thing that impacts everyone daily. To equate gay issues with the Civil Rights issues is an insult to blacks. There is a huge difference between discriminating against someone based on their obvious ethnicity and who they “love”. I’m in the camp that no fault divorce has hurt marriage more than gay unions can. Now when we start another victim class requiring taxpayers to fork over money to these folks, as Lanceman said, “Houston, we have a problem.”. Immigration, I’m fine with allowing people to be here legally but no as citizens. You don’t get rewarded for breaking the law. We still need to secure the border.
